It could have been worse, he could have sprinkled ballast and ground foam in his mouth...

i've heard of sniffing glue , but never drinking it

neither method has ever appealled to me , i prefer to glue my fingers to various small parts . i find super glue the best for this , white glue just takes too long to dry

Personally I like mine sprinkled with a little nutmeg and cinnamon.

It's also good for holding in dentures.

Well, they are man and cow, after all.  Originally, Elmer's Glue was (and might still be) a milk product made from cassien, a dairy deriviative.  Both Elsie and Elmer were creations of the Borden Milk company.  I'm not sure what the corporate standing of each of them is these days, and it was a bit hard to find on the web.  I didn't see a direct reference to Elmer's Glue on the Borden page at a quick glance, so I wouldn't be surprised if they've gone their separate ways.

Now, were you using the Oreo's for ballast?  Yummy.  A bit dark for my taste, although I do use black "cinders" for ballast in my subways.

Actually, if you run out of milk and really want to have cereal, that mixture isn't a bad substitute.  Just don't leave the bowl half consumed, unless it's Rice Krispies and you like Rice Krispy treats......

So, I got a know....

 How'd the milk do holding down the ballast?   2% better than whole?

 

Man, that is funny.  Makes ya feel any betterm I have found myself out of habit, reaching for the "glue glass".   Almost had it a few times....   You are not alone.
